Question

I’m trying to implement a twitter stream viewer in C#, my problem doesn’t lie within C# itself.

I’m just trying to use the geo-location boxing capability of twitter’s streaming API. I’m trying to send a request in this form

private string url = @"https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?track=";

and then I append my parameters

 for (int i = 0; i < keywords.Count; i++)
        {
            url += keywords[i].ToString() + "%2C";
        }

Up until this, the query works fine, it stops working when I add this

 url += @"&locations=" + location;

Where, location variable has the value

-121.75,36.8,-122.75,37.8

So I’m ending up with the query looking like this

https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?track=twitter%2Cfacebook%2Ciphone&locations=-121.75,36.8,-122.75,37.8

I’m getting a response 406 Not Acceptable, any ideas why?

Try replacing the & with a standard ampersand.
